Allan McGregor picked up a red card for Rangers in Sunday’s win.

McGregor’s sending off was for a kick out at an opponent, once again showing his hot headed streak.

It was not the first time the experienced Rangers stopper has been in hot water this season.

His talent on the pitch is unquestioned, and pundit Steven Thompson told Sportscene he regards McGregor as the best in Scotland, even at the age of 37.

Thompson did however, as the Daily Record reported, blast McGregor’s temperament.

He said: “He has been doing these things throughout his career. You would think with the age he is he would have got rid of this crazy streak. But he clearly hasn’t.

“The sad thing is that he’s probably been the best goalkeeper in Scotland this season, he has been brilliant. But he keeps letting himself down with these kid of things.”

McGregor will now miss Rangers’ game against Celtic next weekend.

It is a frustrating way for the veteran stopper to end the season for Rangers, after an impressive first season back at Ibrox.

McGregor is running out of time to change his ways.
